Thanks pzengota
[Epic 4G General] danielseeksGod:
i got the update OTA, pressed install, my phone shut off then this little exclamation point and an android guy popped up, and it said the install failed, so i rebooted the phone, went to the cache folder and moved the OTA zip to my sdcard, renamed it update.zip, then shut off, did the volume rocker and power and camera keys, tried to install the update.zip, and it said it didn't work, status 0?

anyone know how to help me? i'm rooted, no custom rom

Screen calibration trick fixes lag as well.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
My 3G keeps turning on and off. Trying to reboot.
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
Did you get the EB13 update the first day it came out too? Just curious if they're queuing them in the same order again as I got it first day too last time, but it was a bit later in the day than some of the earliest recipients it seemed.

For the record I'm still on stock/un-rooted EB13 (and quite honestly haven't had many issues.) Once this update rolls through I think I'll finally get around to rooting just so I can use my phone as a hotspot for some of our other devices.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Just play with the app market. That's how I how I got my update started.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Wondering if CWM is the problem?
[Epic 4G General] danielseeksGod:
no idea. my phone says clockwordmod recovery v2.5.1.0
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
That's what worked for me 10 minutes ago. I was running stock EB13. OTA to EC05 happened after I updated an app in the Market.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Man I was trying my best not to get this update. But just got the notification. My eb13 was fine. But here we go hopefully this is an improvement, Because im not feeling this being stuck at the samsung screen now.

Edit: This Update just screwed my phone up. Stuck at Samsung Screen, Thankfully I know how to use Odin.

Nice.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
The Verizon version is delayed again for "bing integration".

I'd laugh it weren't probably true.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Verizon sucks. Good for USC though. Actually, more folks should tweet @SamsungCarla about source, since I believe she promised a quick drop. Forget asking about Fascinate stuff -- Mesmerize kernel code is just as good for us.

My next phone will likely be galaxy s2. Do I wish samsung got us froyo sooner... Ya but did it hurt performance or usability for me it did not dl09 took care of gps and that was my main concern. Galaxy s still has best screen and form factor along with very fast hardware.

Galaxy s2 looks to be the next real upgrade imo.

[Fascinate General] phooky:
yess, mezmerize source is out!!

i can haz bln?!!

dammit, all the devs are too busy playing with their new thunderbolts :(
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
Yeah..i don't quite understand the iphone fan-boy attitude around the TB.

But at least a few of our devs haven't completely forgotten about us. Hopefully they will be able to cook up something awesome. :)
[Fascinate General] lukaro:
Why the fuss?

I like the changes in froyo as much as anyone else. What I don't understand is if froyo makes or breaks a phone a for you why didn't you buy a phone with froyo already released. We had a choice and decided to buy a phone with 2.1 instead of 2.2 there were options avaliable. The fascinate with the exception of the gps issue works great out of the box. Okay once it was debinged it was better, and if I had known about the bing thing I would not have bought the phone. Also thank you devs for all your hard work at making a good product even better.
[Fascinate General] ezas:
I agree with you except for the bing thing. Did I want bing? No. But it was easy enough to make it mostly disappear even without root.

But I 100% agree on buying a phone for what it can do off the shelf. Once the GPS was fixed the Fasc was a perfectly competent smart phone. Believing in the 'promise' of a wireless carrier is kind of like believing the dentist when he says 'this won't hurt a bit'.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Not kaos. It's full steam ahead for Kaoscinate now. Kaos doesn't have a tbolt, at least not yet. This may be a selfish statement, but I hope he doesn't get one, because we need him focused on this phone, and I still feel bad for taking his focus away from his Eris roms, which haven't got much love since he got the Fascinate. I'm confident that he'll be getting back to them once a fully functional Kaoscinate release is up and running though, which should be soon now with the source code available.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonalexgalaxy:
hi all

tech savvy (ish) android n00b here.

ive just rooted my phone using super one click. went down without problems.

the phones a little laggy, and i wanna try fix it, but first i need to make a nandroid back up to ensure that i dont screw my phone up...

this requires me to boot up in recovery mode. I've tried different combos of buttons (people on the net report different ways of booting). The only thing that has had any effect at all was turning it off, and then holding down power, home and volume_down.

But this doesnt get me into the recovery mode, it just brings up that andy-at-work shoveling image, which is apparently download mode. I have to hold down power and volume_up, or pull the battery to start it up.

how do i put the phone in recovery mode???

please advise.

Galaxy S GT-I9000

2.1 Rooted
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Press volume up and Home button.

Then press power button.

When it start let go of the power button

Then you are soon in the recovery.

But you zhojkd use titanium backup to make sure all your data is saved.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.3 * 600Hz * 346MB RAM * OC/UV * 1280MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msolus:
If you have root access install Quick Boot (or something similarly named- its off the top of my head) from the market.

You can then reboot into recovery/download just by running the app.

Edit: Like Damian said, let go of the power button after a while or it will reset the phone and you'll just loop through.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Black, Silver, or Blue? Which one looks best outside? I know it's subjective but I am thinking Silver means less finger prints and will look little different like the White X10 was.
[Xperia Arc General] Lancez:
how's the GPS performance, how long can you get a lock indoor?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I tried a Neo earlier today, GPS fix indoor took only 2 or 3 seconds!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Or Pink?

Have you done rooting yet?

BTW< I am happy that you are OK after all these earthquakes going on.
[Xperia Arc General] Lancez:
thats damn good
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
There's no Black in Japan, just Blue/Silver/Pink. I was gonna go with the Blue originally because it's a little more discrete, but I think the Silver just looks better. The Blue back panel looks kinda cheap because of the plastic they chose, while the Silver just looks like metal. And yeah, the Blue one is a fingerprint magnet, and same would go for the black I imagine. No idea about the pink, haven't played with one.

GPS and network signals in general have always been terrible in my apartment, so I can never get a lock in here on any phone (that includes SGS, Desire HD, Nexus One etc). Outside the lock is pretty fast though, and I'd say it's on par or better than the SGS. Need to test it more.

Thanks for the concern! I haven't been able to root it yet, SuperOneClick and Z4Root don't seem to work. I'll give it another go later and try some other methods if it's going to be stubborn:cool:.
[Xperia Arc General] guaiwujia:
Hi，Congratulations～

Could you share us the screenshot of the system info?

Many thanks～

I also want to know if SO-01C could be flashed with FlashTool_0.2.9.1, and if it could be unlocked.:D
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
Sure, system info is attached in a photo. No root yet so no screen grab:rolleyes:

I think we'll need a new version of FlashTool for the Arc though.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
As far as I can tell, the Japanese version of the Arc has different hardware, so be a little careful with flashing etc!
[Xperia Arc General] guaiwujia:
Many thanks.

FlashTool should be ok for Arc

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
[Xperia Arc General] guaiwujia:
The hardware of SO-01C should be same to the other Xperia Arc.

SO-01B and X10 are same too.
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
Well I know this phone only shows 312mb ram.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Other stuff is used for GPU etc as far as I know, I asked at the press event yesterday, all new phones have 512MB RAM and 512MB internal storage.
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
That makes sense. I can also confirm Docomo's website which states the Japanese model as having 1gb storage to be a mistake. It's 512mb with approx. 320mb left after the OS and the preloaded software. This should clear up some of the confusion about differing hardware specs between regions.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I'm gonna make a thread with all correct specs today, hope it gets stickied!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Thanks for your review. Now it makes me want one even more which is not fare :D

Let us know when you are rooted.
[Xperia Arc General] mdmar:
How about USB otg? Is it supported?
[Xperia Arc General] gackaass:
+1 !............
[Xperia Arc General] aisback:
getting mine tomorrow, cant wait
[Xperia Arc General] kaatisu84:
Is this the issue that I noticed with my display adjusting itself and flickering a little? Its a feature of the phone?
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
Possibly, although I wouldn't call it a flicker, so there might be something up with your particular handset. It's a very gradual transition when the brightness changes.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
What Mobile review is saying the loudspeaker is very weak and it has lot of distortions while you are saying quite the opposite :eek:

Can you compare the ringtones volume with Nexus One or Desire?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
The speakers is very loud, but only has (few) distortions on the very highest sound level. Turn it down to a slightly more normal level and the sound is very good, especially for such a slim device.
[Xperia Arc General] radipta91:
how many multitouch points does this arc has ? could you run a multitouch test ? I saw a video that arc has only four multitouch points, could you confirm it please?
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Do you have more than 4 hands or something? Are you an octopus?
[Xperia Arc General] radipta91:
hahahah lol that's not what I'm pointing, I mean, the technology of the cypress multi touch points, like Apple, they have 5points, the latest multitouch technology could support for 32 touch points :D
[Xperia Arc General] Blomkungen:
SE uses the latest multitouch technology which can support 32 touch points

But I would guess it's disabled in the software somewhere
[Xperia Arc General] xilw3r:
who the HELL needs 32 touch points on a mobile phone ?

if its a 50inch screen then... maybe idk.. but i mean cmon !
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
spiderman might need that :-P

However, Arc supports four input points, which is very reasonable
[Xperia Arc General] htc fan89:
I'm looking forward to this device, I'm hoping rogers get it soon:(

Then bye iphone 4:D
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
I guess it depends on what you're basing your opinion on. It sounds quieter than it is because of it's weak low range response and "clean" sound signature.

I'm not sure how they put it down as producing a lot of distortion either because it definitely distorts less than your average mobile phone speaker.

I don't have a Nexus One or Desire handy, but while there are louder devices out there I'd say it's certainly not the majority of them.
[Xperia Arc General] rockingx10:
Can you use third party headset with mic on headphones Jack? Cause I know u couldn't on x10
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
I just tested it and none of the mics on my random unbranded headsets worked. I think the headphone jack is still wired differently to only work with certain headsets, so I'd make sure to buy only headsets that advertise compatibility.

If you like tinkering and can work out a way to access the wiring, try reversing the ground and mic wiring.
[Xperia Arc General] Surethom:
How easy or not is it to take photos, so review have said the camera button is to close to the side & the camera is also to close to the side so is difficult to take steady shots, & the camera button is abit hard to press down :D
[Xperia Arc General] oXunknownXo:
For me, the camera button is 100 times better than the one in my x10, it is bigger and you notice easily when you are focusing or shooting the photo, in the x10 it's harder
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
I agree with oXunknownXo. Some people might find it awkward at first because the device itself is so thin and lightweight, therefore difficult to keep steady. As a photographer though, I can tell it's nothing that takes away from taking photos once you get used to position of the button.
[Xperia Arc General] MM2222:
The random reboot problem is not only for the Japanese model. In Taiwan, some users are also suffering for it. Unfortunately, no one figures out what the real reason is either.

Just let you know you are not alone. :D
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I had a lot of random little annoyances that went away by formatting the SD card and completely reinstalling the firmware from SEUS! Might want to try that if you haven't already. Had one force close and no other hangs or reboots, pretty good if you ask me!
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
3 days straight of heavy usage so far and no issues, force closes, etc. Pretty good!!!
[Xperia Arc General] Surethom:
Can you confirm that the charger light is also a LED notification light, does it flash for mised called/emails & texts when the screen is a sleep.

Cheers :D
[Xperia Arc General] MM2222:
Yes, it does flash for missed calls, emails, and messages.
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
It does for me, yup.
[Xperia Arc General] Rubin85:
thoose anyone know how to set a ringtone from sdcard ? cause some of my .mp3 can't be set as a ringtone
[Xperia Arc General] se_dude:
IS the notification light long and continuous or flickers intermittently?
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
For a text message it blinks green every two seconds or so, other applications do something else! It really depends on the app.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Do you have :

-Battery percentage?

-Fonts change?

Anyway you said you can use an app from the market for the Torch light LED but does it use the full power of the light?

I mean with N1 most of the apps only use 50% of it's brightness,only one app can use the full power of the camera led flash
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Xperia arc Flashlight app works well.. and is very bright... just made the mistake of taking a quick look directly at it.. it.. burns.. it.. burns.. mommy.. help me.. everything's so bright now...

now... while you are blind.... I am going to steal your xperia arc :D

how many finger I have?!!

gone...
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Oh well. 5 days later and I'm returning my Arc. Turns out a smartphone is not my thing, typing without physical buttons is horrible! Back to the G705!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Really?! QWERT wasn't my thing either but I loved the X1 and X2 and had both of them. Hope to find what you like soon.

Hey a quick question... is the contact picture on the in call screen clear? Because it used to be great on x10 android 1.6 but after they updated to 2.1 it used to get distorted!!
[Xperia Arc General] the_ahmadzais:
how is the call volume compare to x10? still low?
[Xperia Arc General] tasgr86:
Due to its position ,it's hard to notice when it flashes
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Will you wait for the SE Pro?...?
[Xperia Arc General] NZtechfreak:
Thanks for all your answers to questions so far.

Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support? WiiMotes? Anybody able to answer?
[Xperia Arc General] olipheus:
I've tried Wiimote and it doesn't seem to work. It demands a pin to connect. Had the same problem with my Desire before I flashed an AOSP-rom, so I guess the BT-stack lacks the support :(

I hope that SE releases their boot loader unlocking tool soon, so that custom roms will clear out this small problems :)
[Xperia Arc General] kaisan1:
Anyone.. please answer!
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Can you use transparent statusbar if using ADW launcher?

I hope rooting the phone is not required :(
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
No. I don't believe you can.

Just have to work out the Framework pngs or use UOT kitchen but still need recovery for that
[Xperia Arc General] HYPER-X10:
Mate, you should give it more time. Touch screen phones are the way of the future, and you need to change to suit :p

Seriously, you WILL get used to it, and love it.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Yeah well I think it'd be better to just invest the €500 I paid into a new laptop or something I need more...
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I assume that a tablet would be more appealing if you are using it for minor thing not heavy graphical stuff.
[Xperia Arc General] Regii:
What I wanted to ask is if you could look at gaming performance maybe? Some games with high graphical specs, such as Raging Thunder 2, Asphalt, or maybe even FPSe?

Would really appreciate to hear some results!

And well I'm getting kinda confused about the RAM. I read it's 512 MB, is that true? How much of it is free for Apps then?
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
Are you having any issues with the wireless connection? Mine gets stuck sometimes and even if the wireless icon still is in the status bar everything that should be using it report that an error has occurred and network is not working.

[Xperia Arc General] shorty083:
Was debating between getting the Arc or waiting for the Sgs 2.

Decided that I will buy the Arc hopefully next month and buy the sgs2 in 6 to 8 months. I just can't resist the looks of this one.

Just another question about the gps performance, since on my sgs it's atrocious.

I don't really mean how fast it locks, more how is the tracking accuracy when it locks, especially in a car?

And maybe someone who had the sgs can anwser my other question.

The sound quality of the Arc, is it about the same or better as voodoo's sound on the sgs?

Thanks!

Guys I have the question:

How to make Gmail store emails for offline?

Every time I go there it reloads data and when I'm offline nothing is there - no emails.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
have you got background data and auto sync checked in the accounts and sync section?
[Xperia Arc General] devil28:
what's wrong with u man?!

Sony Ericsson has promised to unlock it and i'm sure they'll do it in the best way possible!just give them time...what's all this haste for? :|

u must be happy to hear such news! calm down and happily wait for further news! and enjoy your superb phone meanwhile!
[Xperia Arc General] NZtechfreak:
I don't have an Arc, but an audiophile reviewing it at M-R forums rates it relatively highly, but quite a few rungs down the list from an SGS with Voodoo sound.
[Xperia Arc General] qilong:
will this phone become very hot after using it continuously for few minutes?
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Heat when playing games or using browser for a while is normal, once the Arc will be rooted you will be able to use CPU manager to control the maximum heating.

I used to have my N1 become lava when using GPS more than 10 mins but in SetCPU I can set a profile to decrease the CPU clock so the temperature doesn't rise too much
[Xperia Arc General] Surethom:
Just arrived

Mine Sony Ericsson Arc has just arrived & will now replace my HTC Desire, looking forward to powering on & playing.

:D:):D:) :cool:
[Xperia Arc General] ghost7744:
the only one thing thats bothering me is its durability ...does the phone seem too fragile while using it ? :/
[Xperia Arc General] bartbla:
I was using the SGS for 2 months and the sound was only good with the line out.

As soon as you connect a headphone, the SGS switches to some Samsung audio settings and they are terrible, it was one of the reasons to sell the phone and go back to a iPhone 3GS (wich has better sound).

Now I ordered the Xperia Arc and I hope it is as good as some people say..
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
It's amazing. If it had a little bit more equalizer settings it'd beat my Sony Walkman (which is one of the high-range ones with excellent sound). Sound is a lot warmer and cleaner on the Arc than you'd get on an iPod or almost any other phone!
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
hi

does the Docomo SO-01C have a sim card slot?
[Xperia Arc General] Lakitu:
Yes, it has one.
[Xperia Arc General] gunawan-1:
Just got my new Arc yesterday. First impressions really good. But may I ask few questions:

1. The screen is great, but in my case.... the white color is a little yellowish.

2. How to test the power of exmor R?

3. I did not have HDMI cable included in the box?

Any one can give the opinion?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] kaatisu84:
any update on the rebooting issue?

have you had any feedback from SE or docomo regarding the rebooting issue on Japanese models? mines is still doing it, not too much bother, but worrying none the less.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
1-It's normal but you get used to it specially when coming from Amoled ;)

2-Dunno

3-Me too, my pack is FR,EN,PR

For HDMI apart playing your games on TV what's the advantages? (I have a Samsung with USB port TV that plays lot of movies)
